In-Depth Summary
The episode opens with Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine being knocked out by Zoro and Luffy. Vivi gapes at their strength as Zoro and Luffy resume their fight. Just as they are about to strike each other, Nami shows up and punches them both out, yelling at them to stop fighting. Vivi asks why the Straw Hats saved her, but Nami says that she wants to negotiate the reward with Vivi. After Zoro and Luffy finally break up, the situation is explained to Luffy, who finally understands that the people were bounty hunters. Nami then explains to Vivi that she wants one billion berries for her safe delivery, but Vivi replies that she can't afford it because Arabasta is on the verge of civil war. She explains that it is Baroque Works' fault that the rebellion against the king began, so she went to Igaram, her caretaker, and decided to infiltrate Baroque Works and find out their intentions. Nami explains that Igaram explained the intentions of Baroque Works creating an ideal nation to her already. Luffy then asks who the boss of Baroque Works is, but Vivi replies that she can't tell them because they'll be hunted down. Vivi then drops the name Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, then retracts in horror after realizing she said that.
At that moment, they realize that the Unluckies are watching, and Nami freaks out at Nami because now Baroque Works will be after the Straw Hats. Luffy is ecstatic with the idea of fighting a Shichibukai, however, but Nami storms off to leave. She comes across the Unluckies, and they sketch a picture of her as they fly away. Zoro says that they are now on Baroque Works' death list, which depresses Nami. Igaram then shows up, wearing a bad Vivi disguise, explaining that he dressed up like this, carrying three dummies, to act as a decoy so Baroque Works will chase after him instead of the Straw Hats. Nami stands up and demands who even said they would take the princess. Luffy asks Igaram about Crocodile, who explains that Crocodile was a Shichibukai with an former bounty of 80 million berries. Luffy says it sounds like fun to face him, and so Luffy decides they shall take Vivi to Arabasta. As Igaram prepares to leave, he gives an Eternal Pose to Vivi, explaining how it will guide them straight to Arabasta. Igaram then bids farewell and leaves on a small ship, sailing off toward Arabasta.
As Zoro, Luffy, Vivi, and Nami watch Igaram leave, the ship suddenly explodes in a massive blast of flame. Luffy then puts on his hat angrily, yelling that Igaram was a great man, and so they get the Going Merry ready, since Nami's Log Pose is already set. Vivi can't move, but Nami pulls her along. Luffy burst into the building and grabs Usopp and Sanji, dragging them by the nose and leg respectively toward the Going Merry. As Nami and Vivi run for the ship, Vivi notes that Carue is missing. The shadowy figure of Miss All Sunday is then shown sitting on the wreckage of Igaram's ship. When the Straw Hats arrive at the ship, Vivi freaks out that Carue was there the whole time. As the Going Merry sets sail, Sanji and Usopp yell how they want to stay on Whiskey Peak. Nami solves the situation by knocking them both out. The Going Merry passes through the fog of whiskey Peak as dawn breaks, but suddenly they find that Miss All Sunday is aboard their ship, sitting on the railing. Vivi realizes that Miss All Sunday killed Igaram, explaining to the others that Miss All Sunday is the partner of Mr. 0 himself, the boss of Baroque Works.
Sanji and Usopp spring out against Miss All Sunday, holding a gun and slingshot to her head, but Miss All Sunday suddenly sends them flying. Miss All Sunday then takes Luffy's hat, saying that she's not under any orders so she doesn't have to kill them. Miss All Sunday explains that the next island that the Log Pose will lead them to is Little Garden, and she tosses Luffy back and an Eternal Pose to Vivi, one that will lead her to Nothing Island, just short of Arabasta. Zoro says that it's a trap, and so Luffy steps up and smashes the Eternal Pose. Nami knocks him out, furious, but Luffy says that he won't let Miss All Sunday decide the route of their ship. Miss All Sunday smiles and hops off of the ship, onto Banchi, her pet turtle, who carries her off into the fog. As the Straw Hats gape at the size of the turtle, Vivi falls to her knees, realizing the mess they'r ein. Later, after Sanji and Usopp have had everything explained to them, they pledge to help bring Vivi to Arabasta as well. Luffy is then hyped to go to Little Garden, and the Going Merry heads onto their next destination. After that, a shot of Little Garden is shown, a jungle with a giant footprint in the ground, as the episode draws to a close.
